May kicked off in thrilling fashion in Fredericksburg at the Wildflower Classic hosted at Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course. Gavin Martinez of San Antonio, TX caught fire early and never cooled off, firing rounds of 2-under and 1-under to finish 3-under overall and capture his third Boys 11-14 title of the year. In the Boys 15-18 division, Marco Baima of Boerne, TX delivered a statement performance with back-to-back rounds of 68 to secure his first victory of the season. On the girls’ side, Rylen Darter of Taylor, TX dominated the field from the start, building a commanding six-shot lead on her way to claiming the first Overall Girls title of her career.


The Srixon Prestige Tour then traveled north to Burnet for the Fore! Challenge at Delaware Springs Golf Course. Despite soggy weather forcing the tournament into a one-day, 36-hole showdown, the competition delivered nonstop excitement. Hayes Pethel of Belton, TX rose to the occasion, shooting 3-under par to earn his first career Boys 11-14 victory. Marco Baima of Boerne, TX stayed red-hot in the

Boys 15-18 division, backing up an incredible opening-round 64 with a 69 to capture his second win of May. Katelyn Allen of Montgomery, TX put together rounds of 1-under and even par to secure her first Overall Girls win of the year and the second victory of her career.


At the same time in Brenham, The Fairway Roundup at Brenham Country Club battled challenging wet conditions that also transformed the event into a one-day, 36-hole test. Andrew Moreno II of Austin, TX surged up the leaderboard with a clutch second-round 75 to claim his first career Boys 11-14 title. Andrew Bird of Nacogdoches, TX electrified the course with a scorching back-nine 32 in the final round

Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - September September kicked off the Fall with exciting weekend events, starting in San Antonio as the Srixon Prestige Tour visited the historic Brackenridge Park Golf Course for the Cavender Buick GMC North Brackenridge Park Classic , and scores did not disappoint. Gavin Swearengin of San Antonio, TX, started off strong and did not look back. Swearengin topped it off with a 7-under 28 on the back nine in Round 2 to finish 15-under par and claim his first Boys 15-18 win of the year. In the Overall Girls Division, Jessie Lee of San Antonio, TX, claimed her third win of the year after impressive rounds of 5-under and 3-under to secure a 5-shot victory, adding another impressive finish to an outstanding year. Cort Cage of Montgomery, TX, battled his way to his first career win in the Boys 11-14. Cage fired a 4-under 31 on the back nine in Round 2, but no birdie was more important than his birdie putt on the 18th hole, which gave him a 1-shot edge and crowned him a champion. The following week, the Srixon Prestige Tour headed west of San Antonio for The Cowboy Cup at Flying L Ranch Golf Course, where players continued to go low.
